Unless your paying him I'm sure he won't just want random people ringing him up asking for advice.

V6's arent the most popular conversion on here but arent as hard as people make out.
also what are you wanting to use the car for?
back manifold and down pipe will need some fabrication to clear the rack and shaft but as much as people say you do, you DONT have to strengthen the bay unless your going for mega hp. a solid corsa bay is strong enough. bulk head out though
cheap but good gain mods : G cams, 2.0l flywheel, bigger lower divider, port out the inlet (early ones best), FPR....
they also like the F20 box
